Call for papers: Advanced Algorithms: Trust, Performance and Optimisation

A special issue of International Journal of Trust Management in Computing and Communications

 Due to the increasing complexity of applications and increasing volume of data there is a need for advanced algorithms in all areas of engineering. There is now also an added factor to the existing parameters: the speed at which data is coming.

In most cases the data needs to be handled online instead of offline, as is the case in data warehouses. Existing algorithms also need to be reconsidered so as to fit into the new framework of upcoming technologies to fulfil the future needs of the society.

Suitable topics include but are not limited to:
  • Approximation algorithms
  • Online algorithms
  • MapReduce and similar techniques to handle data
  • Randomised algorithms
  • Scheduling algorithms
  • Multi-facility location problems
  • Optimisation algorithms
  • Complexity of issues related to trust, performance and optimisation
  • Social, ethical and cultural issues related to trust, performance and optimisation
  • Implementation of trustworthy systems in business and educational organisations
  • Security and privacy
  • Trust management in large systems
  • Performance-related aspects of cloud computing
Important Dates
Deadline for submission: 30 November, 2012
First review/rejection/acceptance decision: 1 January, 2013
Final paper submission: 31 January, 2013
